I believe I was 16 at the time... or 17... Anyway, I'm nearly 21, so I
don't really care :P Not as if I drink anyway.

What I've seen overseas that seems like a good idea is setting the age
higher for spirits and RTDs. RTDs are the worst, they're easy to
drink.

So's looking at 'explicit' magazines, but they still legislate it :P
